In the widespread of the Covid 19, we have seen many people nurturing fear because they are not sure of what the future holds for them. Fear has evolved to become the language of men.

Fear has replaced faith. Men have lost their trust in God and his power to help them.

God desires that we gain control over our fear and not yield to it. Fear is not the nature of a believer. The devil uses fear as a tool to put us in worry and in anguish.

Fear is one the tools the devil uses to put men below his ability. Fear breeds identity dilemma. It makes one unsure of the verity of what God has said.

How do you overcome fear?

1. Know what God is saying:

Fear dominates us when we lack knowledge of what God is saying at a particular season. When God’s Word comes, fear disappears. Hence, matter the circumstance we find ourselves in, we must be spiritually sensitive enough to hear and know what God is saying.
Spiritual sensitivity is built through prayer.

2. Building a Robust Faith:

“Even when it seems I’m surrounded by many liars and my fears, and though I’m hurting in my suffering and trauma, I still stay faithful to God and speak words of faith.” – Psalms 116:10 (TPT)

What you say when you are in fear matters a lot. We are not to be driven by fear, we are to be driven by Faith. Faith is needed to win every fear in our life.

Tribulations and trials will come, but the Faith that God has built-in us through His Word will always help us to overcome fear.

In the midst of the numerous foes he had, David was unshaken because of his firm grip on God’s Word.

Speak Words of Faith to whatever circumstance that is breeding fear in you, and decree your dominion over it. This is Faith.

3. Knowledge of who you are:

Fear will not go because you ask it to go. You must understand who you are in the kingdom. You must know your rights and what you are to enjoy in Christ.

Fear waters down your real identity and presents to you, a false one.

“Didn’t I commission you as judges, saying, ‘You are all like gods since you judge on my behalf? You are all like sons of the Highest, my representatives.’ – Psalms 82:6 TPT.

God created you with an identity, you must not allow fear to rub you off your identity.

You are representative of God on the earth. You must understand that you are a Kingdom Citizen and you are god therefore, fear must not come near your dwelling.

Knowledge is equally crucial.

“In him, you have been made extravagantly rich in every way. You have been endowed with a wealth of inspired utterance[d] and the riches that come from your intimate knowledge of him.” – 1 Corinthians 1: 5.

We are made rich and endowed with so many things in the kingdom through the knowledge of Christ.

To deal with fear, we must have knowledge of our identity. Ignorance breeds fear. On the grounds of ignorance, the devil wins, on the grounds of Knowledge, we win.

Everything we want and desire for ourselves is found in the Knowledge of Christ.

Get Knowledge through the word of God and other inspired books by Men of God.

PRAYER:

“Listen to my testimony: I cried to God in my distress and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears!” – Psalms 34:4 TPT.

It strengthens our spirit to hold unto God’s Word.

I want to encourage you this morning, do not fear! Do not allow the vagueness of tomorrow’s hope to subjugate your spirit.

NO matter what, you will survive! And you will come out of this better than you’ve ever been.

God bless you!
